Description And Comments

Themed as
Goofy teaching a bunch of new pilots how
to fly, Goofy’s Sky School is a designer Wild
Mouse (sometimes also called a Mad
Mouse). If you’re not familiar with the genre, it’s a small, convoluted roller
coaster where the track dips and turns unexpectedly, presumably
reminding its inventor of a mouse tearing through a maze. To define it
more in Disney terms, the ride is similar to Space Mountain, only outdoors
and therefore in the light. Goofy’s Sky School is an off-the-shelf
midway ride in which Disney has invested next to nothing in spiffing up.
In other words, fun but nothing special. One Denver, Colorado, woman
who otherwise loves the park feels even that middling assessment is too
generous, writing:

I think Goofy’s Sky School deserves a significant demotion. It doesn’t deserve
to be called a roller coaster. It jerked us around so much that we were aching
afterward.

This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for Goofy's Sky School when you visit on a day with a given Disney California Adventure Crowd Level. The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time (that is, how long the line will be at its busiest). The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect (for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times).
